HDA/HDL CD and PS2 Independence Installer

by AzNPuLSe

Basically you are using your HDAdvance/HDLoader CD ( not DVD disc ) as a boot.

1. First boot your loader in your ps2 and wait for the main menu to pop up.
2. Select Install (or Convert for HDA) in the side menu.
   
3. Now it should say "Please insert the CD or DVD disc for your game you wish to install" at this point swaptrick your HDL cd for your PS2 Independence Installer.
   
4. Hit Continue.
   
5. Enter Exploit (it's easier just do it)
   
6. Then hit End and it should install
   
7. Next hit ok and scroll down the menu and look for Exploit and hit (X)
   
8. The screen should flicker a little bit but dont worry. Now your installer should be installing the exploit.
   
9. Once it's finished turn off your PS2 and try out your exploit (by inserting your trigger psx CD)
   

This should work for you as it did for me. At the time I had a new memory card. But i recommend at LEAST 2MB's left on your memory card so you can tinker around with it.

**This may work with winhiip or another method of transferring files to HDloader/HDadvance.
